Get back to sub 1:30 half marathon pace after some setbacks this
winter.

Why do you run?

I run because I can’t stop competing.I need to run for fitness anyway so I just
make a sport out of it. I run because when I take a couple day’s off I feel
like crap.

Describe your best
marathon memory.

Back in the 2009 Dances with dirt Ultra Marathon
I actually fell asleep with 3 miles to go and snapped back awake just before
hitting the ground. My running partner and I had a pretty good laugh about
that.

Why do you pace?

This is my first time pacing.I’m going to pace because I hope to help someone achieve the PR they
are seeking.

Tell us your best
pacing experience.

It is going to be at the Illinois Marathon pacing with you.

Why should someone run
in your pace group?

They should if they want to have a good time and good company
during there long run.

Any tips for runners
about to join your group?

Get good rest the night before and get ready for an enjoyable
day.

Anything else you’d
like to share?

I’m pretty excited to take on the challenge of pacing the 1:55
group.I know what it’s like to
achieve a PR and I hope that a lot of runners will be doing that in my group.

What philanthropic
activities do you have?

I do charity work for the MDA every August with other
